Abstract

It is shown constructively that, under certain conditions on a Banach algebra B, the positive integral powers of a hermitian (respectively, positive) element of B are hermitian (respectively, positive). Constructive limitations on the Hahn–Banach theorem force us to adopt careful definitions of ‘hermitian’ and ‘positive’, based on approximations to the state space of the Banach algebra.
